“The goal of the IWiT Championship has always been to use the spotlight of the LPGA Tour to raise funds and awareness for the foundation,” said Dan Towriss, President and CEO of Group1001. “Thanks to the ongoing support from the community, we have been able to achieve this goal. Through the tournament and the coinciding special events we have been able to further the initiatives and mission of IWiT, and have raised funds that will go towards a better future for women in Indy.”
The 2018 tournament was held August 13-19 at The Brickyard Crossing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The 2018 purse was $2 million and the winner, Sung Hyun Park, earned a $300,000 check..
